'Who is Jesus?' This is the pivotal question of Christianity. From the earliest days of the Church to the present, Christian thinkers have grappled with this question and have attempted to respond to it with cogent and meaningful answers for the people of their respective cultures and times.
In this concise Christology, Thomas Noble draws upon Scripture, the Church Fathers, the Reformers, and modern and postmodern scholars as he surveys how the Church has answered the question about Jesus' identity. With keen insight and precision, the author guides readers through the personal and relational implications that are intrinsic to the Church's understanding of Jesus. Based on the first volume of the author's monumental Christian Theology, this book is an invaluable resource for pastors, students, teachers, and laypeople.
The Wesleyan language that states clearly what we believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex ideas. The Wesleyan Theology Series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor. Topics include: the Trinity, creation, eschatology, the church, the sacraments, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, sin, grace, salvation, sanctification, Christian ethics, and atonement. Christians are used to hearing theological language in the church but may not feel they have adequate resources to enhance their understanding of what certain terms or concepts mean.
